During an interview on 05/22/25 at 9:45 AM, the interim DON said residents had a right to refuse care. She
also said Resident #86 should have received assistance from the staff after toileting.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 05/22/24 at 1:44 PM, the ADON said all residents had a right to refuse care, and her
expectation was for staff to notify the RP of the refusal and document it in the electronic medical record.
She said they were working with staff and conducted re-education/in-serviced on resident's rights.
During a telephone interview on 05/22/25 at 1:52 PM, LVN R said she was taking care of Resident #86 on
05/02/25. She said the resident refused care because she did not want to take a shower. She said the
resident was soiled and had stool in her brief and she thought it was best to shower the resident instead of
using wet wipes. She said the resident did have a right to refuse care; however, she did not want the
resident to stay in her soiled brief and clothes because that could lead to a Urinary Tract Infection
(inflammation of the bladder, caused by bacteria that enter the urinary tract and multiply) or skin
breakdown.
LVN R said she did not contact the RP because she thought it would be okay to shower the resident. She
said she only notified the incoming nurse and the former administrator of Resident #86's refusal during
morning meeting. LVN R was unable to provide a risk to the resident.
During an interview on 05/22/25 at 5:10 PM, the Administrator said residents had a right to refuse. She said
if the resident refused care, it was their right .

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to assess the resident for risk of entrapment from
bed rails prior to installation, review the risks and benefits of bed rails with the resident or resident
representative and obtain informed consent prior to installation for 3 of 6 Residents (Resident #95,
Resident #64, and Resident #356,) reviewed for the use of side rails.
The facility failed to ensure nursing staff obtained physician orders and consent for the use of side rails for
Residents #95, #64 and #356.

fracture of right femur (a fracture that occurs in the region of the trochanters, which are bony prominences
on the thigh bone near the hip), unspecified dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that
interferes with daily functioning), muscle wasting and atrophy (the wasting or thinning of muscle mass),
muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, and history of falling.
Record review of Resident #95's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 4/9/25, reflected she had a BIMS score
of 2, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #95 required supervision or touching
assistance with rolling left and right, from sitting to lying and from lying to sitting on side of bed.
Record review of Resident #95's care plan, dated 4/22/25, did not reflected she used side rails.
Record review of Resident #95's physician orders for May 2025 reflected there was not an order for the use
of side rails.

form and no assessments for the use of side rails.
Observation on 5/20/25 at 1:55 PM revealed Resident #95 was lying in bed; the call light was within reach.
There were half-sized bed rails up in the middle of the bed on each side, the bed was in lowest position and
fall mats where on both sides of the bed.
Interview with Resident #95's family member on 5/22/25 at 2:37 PM, she said she could not remember if
she signed a consent for bed rails. The Family Member said Resident #95 had the bed rails the entire time
she had been in the facility.
2. Record review of Resident #64's face sheet, dated 5/21/25, reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #64 had diagnoses which included vascular dementia (caused

recommendation of bed rails. LVN A said the assessment should come first, then the consent . She said the
bed rails that were in the middle of the of the bed were used for residents who were considered a fall risk.
She said the risk to the resident when they were not assessed for bed rails could be they could put their
arms through the bed rail and get stuck.
Residents Affected - Some

said, for example, if they provided incontinent care, the resident could hold onto the bed rail and roll over .
LVN B said she did not know what the side rails located in the middle of the bed were used for. LVN B said
there should be orders and assessments for bed rails, and they should be included in the care plan. LVN B
said the purpose of the bed rails was for the resident to hold onto them while repositioning. She said bed
rails were not to be used as a fall risk because it could be considered a restraint for the resident.
During an interview with ADON A on 5/22/25 at 3:18 PM, she said bed rails should be used as assist bars,
which were not normally located in the middle of the bed . There should be an order and consent for bed
rails and the bed rails should be care planned. ADON A said bed rails should not be used as a restraint.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to assist residents in obtaining routine and 24-hour
emergency dental care for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #36) reviewed for dental services.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #36 was referred to the dentist after she complained of tooth pain.
This failure could place residents at risk of pain and decline in health.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #36's, undated, face sheet, reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Congestive Heart Failure (Condition in which the
heart does not pump blood as well as it should), Metabolic Encephalopathy (brain dysfunction resulting
from disruption in the body's metabolism, leading to altered mental status and cognitive impairment), and
Cerebral Infarction (Blood flow to the brain is blocked leading to tissue death).
Record review of Resident #36's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 03/03/25, reflected she had a BIMS
score of 14, which indicated that the resident was cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #36's nursing note dated 04/30/25 at 11:27 PM, reflected the resident had a
complaint of dental pain to upper left jaw.
Record review of Resident #36's nursing note dated 05/20/25 at 12:04 PM, reflected the resident had a

the right side, and the staff had not addressed it. Pain medication was administered to the resident due to
complaint of tooth pain .
During an interview on 05/21/25 at 11:46 AM, the RP said her family member had a tooth abscess and had
not seen a dentist since her initial complaint , which was several weeks prior.
During an interview on 05/21/24 at 5:39 PM, LVN B said Resident #36 informed her she complained of
tooth pain approximately 1 week ago. She said she assessed the resident, notified the RP, and
administered pain medication. She said she gave the resident medication again today due to complaint of
tooth pain. She said she assumed an order for dental services was already in place after speaking with the
RP . She said the risk for not reporting tooth pain could lead to infection and/or sepsis.
During an interview on 05/22/25 AM at 9:52 AM, the Social Worker said he started at the facility at the end
of April and was not aware the resident needed urgent dental services. He said the 1st time he heard
Resident #36 had dental concerns was when the state surveyor asked about it on 05/21/25 .
